00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.799
Bullying. A transaction between two parties where a larger subject in a

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:11.040
snake embroidered jean or leather jacket solicits money from a smaller, weaker

00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:14.400
subject against his or her will. Or at least that was how it worked in the

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:19.760
1980s when David Hasselhoff and his Firebird still ruled the streets. But as

00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:24.640
the tired old trend of interpersonal interaction rapidly declined in favor of

00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:30.160
digital communication, it seemed we couldn't drop the nasty trend of well

00:00:27.599 --> 00:00:34.640
being nasty to each other. In fact, the proliferation of harassment via

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:39.360
information technology networks such as hate-based websites, email slander

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:44.320
campaigns, and threatening phone calls had become frequent enough by 2004 that

00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:49.600
it led to a term to describe the experience of repeated and targeted

00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:51.840
digital abuse, cyber bullying. And as it

00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:56.879
turned out, this was just in the nick of time for the next great evolution of

00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:01.680
bullying, social networking. Social media changed the bullying landscape by

00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:07.520
giving people unprecedented access to the personal lives of well everybody.

00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:12.320
74% of teenagers according to the Pew Research Center. And once the networking

00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:16.080
services became ubiquitous with cell phones, it meant that bullies could

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:21.360
access their victims at any time and place from school to work to even home.

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:25.520
In fact, approximately one in three teenagers report having experienced some

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:29.360
form of cyber bullying. This is also according to Pew, including everything

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:34.720
from having private messages shared without permission, false rumors spread,

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:36.720
and even physical threats. So then a

00:01:34.720 --> 00:01:42.240
common reaction from many who first encounter cyber harassment is to say,

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:44.720
well, okay, I'll just unplug everything.

00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:49.119
This is easy. However, the emotional distress and stigma from bullying can

00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:53.200
follow a person far beyond their pluggedin experience with victims

00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:57.200
exhibiting higher incident rates of psychological problems, depression, and

00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:01.200
substance abuse issues. According to research by the cyber bullying research

00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:04.799
center and because cyber bullying disproportionately affects teenagers and

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:08.800
this is according to statistics Netherlands there has been concern from

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:13.360
organizations such as the US department of health and human services about the

00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:17.040
effects of this type of bullying on personal development and the possibility

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:21.760
that it could cause emotional and behavioral issues later on in life.

00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:26.400
Thankfully, social media providers seem to agree that there's a problem, and

00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:30.959
things like page visibility only upon author approval and blocking for

00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:35.519
individual users have become near universal. Some services such as YouTube

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:41.360
take it a step further, letting users define what type of unwanted material

00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:46.080
they're reporting, from unsolicited to explicit or even violent and harassing

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:50.080
speech. Or there's Twitch, which allows broadcasters to temporarily time out

00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:53.599
people instead of banning them outright, giving a chance for the perpetrator's

00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:57.680
behavior to be modified via social reinforcement. Which is not to say at

00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:02.159
all that these features are foolproof, as it is not uncommon for miscreants to

00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:07.360
gain them by setting up dummy accounts or even abuse them by reporting people

00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:11.840
who have done nothing wrong. And efforts to legislate against cyber bullying

00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:15.760
haven't gone swimmingly either, with reports of online bullying continuing to

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:19.680
rise, according to the Boston-based Education Development Center. On the

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:24.480
bright side, campaigns like stomp out bullying in the US and delete cyber

00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:29.680
bullying in the EU have led to a growing awareness and a drive for people to be

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:31.760
proactive about this issue. Because

00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:35.440
while this hasn't been a very funny episode of Techquicki, it's kind of a

00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:39.280
serious issue. And if you or anyone that you know has experienced anything more

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:42.799
than, you know, the mildly irritating levels of online abuse that we all just

00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:46.319
seem to kind of accept to the point where you feel like it's really having

00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:50.879
an impact on you, it's important to reach out to nearby support because no

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:55.840
one deserves that kind of mistreatment. And last but not least, take care not to

00:03:52.879 --> 00:04:00.319
be a griefer yourself. Speaking of support, you know who will

00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:04.959
